APEE 2010: Final Call for Papers

Two weeks till submission deadline!

Come work hard & play hard at the 2010 annual meetings of the Association of Private Enterprise Education. With yours truly as program chair, this year's conference promises to continue the trend of APEE becoming the conference of record among classical liberal scholars.

Highlights for the 2010 program include:
- Plenary speakers Tyler Cowen on the current state of economics, and Loren Lomasky on liberty after Lehman, plus a Rand versus Smith debate featureing Jim Otesson, Yaron Brook, and Peter Boettke.
- The Association will give its Thomas Jefferson Award to Penn & Teller, who will be giving remaks at a plenary meal.
- The Association's Adam Smith Award will be given to Peter Boettke.
- Other highlights: the best papers ever in The Indepenent Review; a panel on the future of money and markets with Jerry Jordan, Amity Shlaes, and Lee Hoskins; a new twist on the economics communicators contest; much more.

What is so special about the APEEs? Most of all, people at APEE know how to have fun while doing good economics, but the way the conference is oragnized helps. With no formal discussants assigned, sessions are geared toward presentation and floor discussion. The plenary sessions always provide great fodder for later discussions known to go well into the night. And there are three common meals, including an open bar reception on the first night. So it is very easy to meet new people as well as renew old friendships year after year.

At just under $400, the conference registration fee might seem a bit pricey. But for that, you get 3 full meals (Sunday dinner, Monday & Tuesday lunch) plus 2 mornings of continental breakfast, and an annual subscription to the Journal of Private Enterprise. Young scholars can also apply for partial funding of their trip (details on www.apee.org soon). In addition, journal submission fees are waived for all papers presented at the annual meeting. Combined with the relatively low cost of hotel rooms and flights to Las Vegas from most parts of the country, it is a relatively inexpensive conference to attend.

Essentials: (visit conference website here)
Las Vegas, April 11-14 (Sunday evening through Tuesday)
Bally's Hotel and Casino
Submit paper or entire session at www.apee.org
Submission deadline: Dec. 1, 2009 (email me if you a bit more time)

The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it. -Adam Smith
